Tucked away on a lush 1-acre parcel, this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers privacy, tropical beauty, and incredible potential. With 1,073 sq ft of living space, the home sits back from the road, creating a peaceful retreat surrounded by mature landscaping and vibrant gardens. Inside, the living room features a custom fireplace with built-in shelving and a vaulted open-beam ceiling, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A large picture window frames views of the surrounding tropical greenery, bringing the outdoors in. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of potential for storage and workspace, along with a pleasant view of the backyard. The property includes a 504 sq ft carport, where the owner converted an additional room into a private office—perfect for working from home or as a hobby space. Step outside to enjoy the beautifully established grounds, featuring mature orange, lemon, coconut, and banana trees, a pineapple patch, and lush ornamental plantings such as anthuriums, ferns, ti, and palms. The property offers a truly tropical setting and exceptional privacy. Located in Leilani Estates, the neighborhood features paved roads, sensible CC&Rs that help maintain a wonderful environment, and an active homeowners association. The home is just minutes from Pāhoa town, where you’ll find restaurants, grocery stores, and a community recreation area with a gymnasium and Olympic-size swimming pool. The stunning Pacific Ocean is only about a 10-minute drive away. Some improvements were made in past years, and the roofing is in good condition, but the home does need a bit of TLC and is being sold AS-IS—making it a fantastic opportunity for someone ready to add their personal touch. Priced at $199,500, this private island property is a great value and a manageable project with the potential to truly shine. If you’ve been looking for an affordable home with character, space, and tropical charm, this could be the one!
